Legal and regulatory frameworks, strategies and programmes

Millennium Development Goals, NAPA = national adaptation programme of action, Nat. = national,
SDGs = Sustainable Development Goals.
270. Most Parties have committed to further advancing the implementation of their
existing frameworks, strategies, programmes and plans in the future and to developing new
ones, when deemed necessary, and have described those that guide their current and future
work on adaptation, including in the context of implementing the adaptation component of
their INDC. Various strategies, programmes and plans were presented, some of which are
specific to climate change, some are specific to sectors of the economy and others are
economy wide. Despite the various frameworks and instruments used to enhance the
enabling environment for addressing adaptation, the information communicated
demonstrates Parties’ efforts to address adaptation in a coherent and programmatic manner.
271. There are also references to instruments established under the Convention. For
instance, many LDCs expressed their willingness to build upon the momentum created by
the preparation and implementation of their national adaptation programmes of action
(NAPAs) to continue enhancing their adaptation actions, in particular as they embark on the
process to formulate and implement NAPs.
